I'm attempting to jailbreak my iPhone 3G on a Mac but am having no luck. When I get to the part when the phone goes into DFU mode my screen turns white and remains that way. The quickpwn app continues on as if there is no problem all the way through. The screen remains white for apprx. 10 minutes then shuts off. And my phone is back to normal after powering it on but not jailbroken.
I've read of other people having this problem in other forums but I haven't found a solution. Can anyone help?

if your mac is updated to OS X 10.5.6 the problem you are running into is that the mac will not recognize it in DFU mode and thereforee cannot be rebooted in its jailbroken state. there is a fix for this somewhere on here, but if you have another computer to jailbreak with i would recommend doing that for the time being.

I wish I could but mine still isn't working. I'm gonna try and jailbreak it on a PC tomorrow at work. I have to be careful I don't get caught!

Nope. It should be fine, now you can just sync it with your Mac. I had the same problem trying to jailbreak on my new MacBook, it wouldn't go into DFU mode. So, I jailbroke it on my PC and then sync'd it with my Mac.
